My Evil Genius Wife

The next day,

Xu Nuan looked at the small, shabby room which was assigned to her as her office. Since she became the manager of the new girl group which was going to be launched under her care, she was given a small room cum office to do her work.

She chuckled and wondered if this was a storeroom earlier. There was a desk and chair for her, with her nameplate on the door. However, if the extra two people enter the room, it will look too crowded and complicated. There was dust on the table and was not even cleaned properly.

She pursed her lips remembering Wang Meili's office which was four times bigger than hers, and there she was barely given room to be called an office.

" Knock, knock."

She sighed and was about to go out when someone knocked on her door. She stayed seated and said," Yes, come in." 

She raised her brows when the four girls looked at her meekly and entered the office hesitantly. 

Because of their arrival, the room looked smaller than before. She sighed and gestured them to sit down, however, there were only two extra chairs in the room

In the end, the girls decided to stand and talk.

They stood there for a while silently and after a few moments, the girl in the middle spoke, " We heard that you're the one who is going to be our manager?" Sun Ai spoke.

Xu Nuan raised her brows as she remembered her from her profile. By now, she has already remembered their profiles.

Song Ai is 22 years old and was the eldest among the four. Unlike others, she joined the company rather late and has been trained for only two years. However, she has chosen her because of her powerful and unique vocals. Plus, she was the prettiest among the others, and with some touch up she can be launched as an idol. Even Tang Hu was thinking to keep Sun Ai in the group, but it was her who said that it will be all four or no one.

Next is Pan Lan who is 21 years old. She joined shining bright only last year but she has been training at another company previously and was eliminated after being trained for years. She was in charge of rapping and was the least feminine among the four. However, her carefree and outspoken personality made her interested in her. Her solo performance was the most memorable for her.

 Sun Ya and Lai Yi are of the same age. Both are 19 right now. They joined shining bright two years ago, before this, they were training under another company. Since they have been training since young, they are finely groomed. More than that, Sun Ya's sweet yet deep vocals attracted her. For Lai Yi, it was her love for music that made her interested in her. The way she enjoyed the song and can make any song as hers.

These girls deserve according to their talent but unfortunately, due to the beauty standards of this society, they are lagging and was discouraged at every single path.

' However, now she has found them. They don't need to wait.'

...

" Yes. Anything wrong?" Xu Nuan played with the pen in her fingers and asked while staring at Song Ai. 

Song Ai pursed her lips and glanced at the other members, hesitantly. 

" You think that I won't be any help since I am young? Because as I can see, in terms of age, even you're older than me." She said, which made Song Ai smile awkwardly. Seeing their hesitance, she understood what they wanted to talk about.

The four girls nodded which made her smirk.

" Well, you guys are quite straightforward, aren't you?" She commented and chuckled, " Good, very good. So let me be straight with you as well, if you have a bit of doubt about me and think that I can't help you to debut successfully, then you can leave. It's better to leave now than regretting it later." She stood up and walked in front of the desk.

She leaned against the desk and stood lazily, while staring at them, waiting for their response.

No one said anything. They just looked at each other and pursed their lips. 

After a while, Pan Lan spoke, " Why do you want to launch us? We heard that Manager Wang and Mr. Tang were against us and wanted to kick us out of the company. The company was not going to take part in our debut, then why are you so adamant to launch us?" There are many other pretty girls with whom you can work comfortably." she said bluntly.

Xu Nuan was surprised when she heard her question. What was more interesting was her serious face, when she asked that question. Just as she had expected from her, she is blunt and speaks her mind without hesitance.

" Hmm.. because you guys are not pretty?" She said which made the girls frown. 

She chuckled and continued, "See, even you girls believe that you aren't pretty. That's not how you're going to be an idol, my darling." She said which made the former frown. Pan Lan and Xu Nuan were of the same age and the way she was talking, it looks like she was older than her. 

" If you want to be an idol, you need to first build up your confidence. You need to take these blunt, hate comments and remarks as your strength and don't ever make them your weakness. Let me tell you, being an idol is not easy, not at all. The more famous you get, the more enemies and antis you will make every day. So it's better to harden your heart if you have decided to become one." she said seriously which made everyone listen to her words carefully.

" Also, why I decided to launch you, here is my answer." Xu Nuan turned around and opened her laptop which she brought together with her. " Now see this and tell me if you deserve this chance or not." She played a video and let them see themselves.

The girls gathered together and looked at the video in a daze. They were surprised and glanced at Xu Nuan in shock and appreciation.

In the video, she has put the clips of their solo performances altogether. At first, they couldn't understand what she meant but as they further watched the video, they realized what she was doing. The video not only included the performances during the evaluation but their audition clips as well. They could see their growth, also how well they were all suited to each other.

"You know why I picked you guys and decided to launch them keeping everything on stake? it's because you caught my attention at the very first glance. It's not easy to be noticed by me, you know." She commented while looking at their surprised expressions. 

"Also, don't look at me as if I am a saint, Mary. I need to earn money as well. And you girls are..like my investments in which I am going to invest my time and efforts. So it's your responsibility to work hard and make my efforts fruitful." She smiled.

The expressions of the girls changed from confused to emotional. Before this, no one has ever trusted in them like this. They told them that they are good at singing but not fit to be an idol. However, hearing Xu Nuan's words, their trampled confidence started to build up again.

" But to be in my group, you need to change your attitude. Your only weakness is your lack of confidence and your suspicion on your capabilities, other than that, you girls are perfect." Xu Nuan said which made them beam with a smile.

Xu Nuan's lips curled up in a smile seeing their shocked and emotional expressions. For some reason, she felt so relaxed and content while telling these things to them. Sharing experiences and giving what she has to others made her feel content. 

She never felt this happiness even when her songs were ruling the music charts. But seeing their smile and sharing her experience, was giving her a strange feeling of fulfillment. She was happy. She has seen enough fame in her life, now it's time to brighten up others' lives.

Song Ai opened her mouth but no words came out. She was younger than her, but she was talking as if she was much more experienced than her in this industry.

The girls nodded and left the room. At first, they were hesitant and were wondering if they were being played when they were told that they were going to be launched as a different girl group.

They know that company has no intention to launch two groups at the same time but when they found out that it was this new girl's idea to launch them, they came to see her. They were grateful for her to choose them but they were still unsettled about this decision. 

However, this meeting made them sure. The girl was young and inexperienced but when she was ready to put her everything on the line for them, so they must not let her down and work hard. 

-

The clock started ticking as they only have less than three months to debut. It will be late December, by the time they will debut. Because, from the new year, the senior groups will start their comeback and it will only harm their rankings. 

They will be only benefited if they make their debut by the end of December.

Unlike the other seven girls, the girls under Xu Nuan didn't get the dorms nor the facilities that they were supposed to get if they were launched officially with the support of the company.

Not only that, the trainees were not being paid and they had to manage everything themselves until they made their debut. The girls are living in a rooftop room and were sharing it together. 

Not only that, they don't get the practice room anytime they want. They have to arrange their schedules according to Wang Meili's group. Since both groups are going to debut at the same time, it was more chaotic than ever.
